When one accepts and believes in Jesus Christ as LORD and Savior by faith and in His love, the understanding promised by Jesus Christ comes from the Holy Spirit, the Comforter as provided by the Word of Jesus Christ. Unless that faith is expressed and embraced in the name of Jesus Christ, you would be right, there would be no understanding. But in His Name, there is understanding.
In faith there is understanding in the Name of Jesus Christ, and that has been the truth for thousands of years. One must believe in Jesus Christ as LORD, doing so by praying to Him for forgiveness of sins and asking Him into one's heart. Then all things in His Truth will be revealed beyond any human logic that anyone may try to use in place of it.
